“Mudra vigyan: Science of Mudra” is one of the simple but advanced practices of yoga.

As we have discussed ‘what is mudra’ in-depth already; in short, a mudra is a ‘gesture’ or ‘seal’ made using part of hand, eyes, tongue, etc. to channel our bodily energy.

We at Fitsri are conducting a mudra therapy program online in live sessions. If you’re someone looking to learn mudras to treat various physical and mental conditions – or improve overall wellness, then this program is for you.

What is Mudra Therapy?

In mudra therapy, we learn the application of various hand and body gestures to alleviate a range of health problems and ailments. It can be considered a complementary therapy for medical therapy in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

Mudra therapy is based on the premise that any physical or mental disorder in the human body is the result of the imbalance of five vital elements; fire, air, ether, earth and water. When we do a mudra, we aim to bring these elements back to a balanced state so that the body’s healing mechanism gets activated.

The five elements of the body are represented by the five fingers and in mudra therapy, we use hand mudras and their variations in different combinations for treatment after identifying the physical/mental symptoms of the disease.

About the workshop

This Mudra Therapy class is comprised of 7 live sessions. It’s designed keeping in mind that you have little prior knowledge and understanding of mudras, and you want to learn so you can practice the methods and techniques of mudras to deal with common conditions.

After completing the program, you will be knowledgeable and confident enough not only to practice your own but also to assist anyone in mudra practice for improving health.

Melanie Howard-Dobson

FITSRI 7 Day introduction of Mudra the meaning and how they can help you was a very rich and comprehensive deep dive into the wisdom and power of this healing and sacred practice. I really enjoyed our teacher who was extremely patient and clear in presenting so much vital information.
I enjoyed the layers of the chakras energy (nadis) and how everything was built on the next intricate layer of wisdom.

Pria Kamath

Attended the Yoga Mudra workshop. The concepts were explained in great detail and taught in an easy to understand manner. The trainer uses simple analogies to make the lessons more relatable. Loved the contend and the delivery.

Thanks Fitsri for the wonderful workshop 😊

Mavis Urwin

This was an interesting pranayama workshop, with some good information, including the health benefits of following the techniques and the contraindications. It was more of an introduction than offering fresh or more in depth info to more advanced practitioners. Perhaps a little background of the anatomy of breathing would be helpful also. The summaries of each days teaching were helpful.

Shilpa Mehta

The Mudra workshop is very comprehensive teaching all aspects of Mudras in depth. How to practice Mudras in a right manner and in relation to other aspects of our personality like, prana, chakra, kosha, etc. Would highly recommend for holistic learning on Mudras.

Kiran Jalan

Fabulous workshop by Ashish Sir.
I gained in depth knowledge in the work shop.
the experience of mudra work shop is so inspiring that I am going to practice it daily.
Every one must explore and learn mudra from Ashish Sir.

Sankalp Agarwal

I attended the 7-day online mudra workshop organized by Fitsri. I found it very well structured and informative. In 7 days I went from understanding the very basics to a level where I could logically arrive myself at assuming a mudra for a certain goal and explain it’s workings. Our teacher, Ashish, answered all our questions patiently and the best part is that all who attended have a lifetime support for any questions that they might have.
I would highly recommend Fitsri workshops.
